What is Fluid Power?


Fluid power is the engineering science and
technology that deal with the generation,
control, and transmission of energy through the
use of pressurized fluids.
Or
Fluid power technology is to convert, transmit,
control & apply fluid energy to perform useful
work. Fluid can be either a liquid or gas.

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulics
The study of hydraulics deals with system
operated with hydraulic oil media to impart
power or to control power.
Hydraulic power is the power that is transmitted
by pressurized oil.
It may be used to power machines or to control
or to regulate machines.

Historical review
Actual advancement of Oil Hydraulics started
from the end of 17th Century. In 1648, a French
Physicist, Pascal, discovered a fundamental law
underlying the whole science of Hydraulics.
Its a two-part statement as given here:
Pressure at any point in a static fluid is the same
in every direction,
Pressure exerted on a confined fluid is
transmitted equally in all directions, acting with
equal force on equal areas.
8

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

formula:
FORCE FORCE = PRESSURE X
AREA

AREA

PRESSURE PRESSURE = FORCE AREA


9

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Pressure
Pressure is defined as the force per unit area.
P=F/A
The SI unit for pressure is Pascal (Pa),
1Pa =1N /m^2
The unit for pressure is also Bar (bar), kg / cm2,
1 bar=1.019368kg/cm2
1kg/cm2=0.9810bar
1bar = 105 Pa
10

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Pressure
Pressure occurs in fluid when it is subjected to
force.
A force F is applied to an enclosed fluid via a
piston area A
This result in a pressure P in the fluid.
Increasing the force increase the pressure P in
direct proportion.
Decreasing the area also increase pressure P
Pressure in the fluid can therefore be define as the
force acting per unit are, or:
11

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Pascal's law & its applications


Basic law can be applied
to an enclosed hydraulic
system having a cylinder
p1 with a piston area of
10cm2 & another
cylinder p2 with 100cm2.
Both are connected &
filled with water.
12

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Pascal's law & its applications


Now assume a force of 50N is applied downward on p1,
The Pressure created by P1=Force/Area
=50N/10cm2 = 5N/cm2
A/c to Pascal's law, pressure acts equally in all direction.
So, the pressure acting on p2 is also 5N/cm2 . As the p2
has the area of 100cm2 .
So, Force available on p2 =Pressure X Area
= 5N/cm2 X 100cm2 =500N
The force applied to piston 1 is multiplied 10 times, this
advantage is utilised in fluid power system !!!
13

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Principle of hydraulic system


The force given by fluid is
given by the multiplication of
pressure and area of cross
section.
As the pressure is same in all
the direction, the smaller
piston feels a smaller force and
a large piston feels a large
force.
Therefore, a large force can be
generated with smaller force
input by using hydraulic
systems.
14

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulic systems.
The hydraulic systems consists a number of parts for its
proper functioning.
These include storage tank, filter, hydraulic pump, pressure
regulator, control valve, hydraulic cylinder, piston and leak
proof fluid flow pipelines.
It consists of:
cylinder
storage tank
Filter
electric pump
pressure regulator
control valve

Hydraulic systems components


17

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulic systems...
The storage/fluid tank is a reservoir for the liquid used
as a transmission media.
The liquid used is generally high density incompressible
oil. It is filtered to remove dust or any other unwanted
particles and then pumped by the hydraulic pump.
The capacity of pump depends on the hydraulic system
design. These pumps generally deliver constant volume
in each revolution of the pump shaft. Therefore, the fluid
pressure can increase indefinitely at the dead end of the
piston until the system fails.
18

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulic systems....
The pressure regulator is used to avoid such
circumstances which redirect the excess fluid back to
the storage tank.
The movement of piston is controlled by changing
liquid flow from port A and port B.
The cylinder movement is controlled by using control
valve which directs the fluid flow.
The leak proof piping is also important due to safety,
environmental hazards and economical aspects.

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Types of Hydraulics
The place held by hydraulics in (modern)
automation technology illustrates the wide range
of applications for which it can be used.
A basic distinction is made between:
Stationary hydraulics
Mobile hydraulics
20

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Stationary hydraulics
Stationary hydraulics is fixed at one station where all the
activities are carried out at the same station. Stationary
hydraulics is used in machine tool applications.
The following application areas are important for
stationary hydraulics:
Production and assembly machines of all types
Transfer lines
Lifting and conveying devices
Presses
Injection moulding machines
Rolling lines
Lifts
21

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Mobile hydraulic
Mobile hydraulic systems move on wheels or tracks,
for example, unlike stationary hydraulic systems
which remain firmly fixed in one position.
A characteristic feature of mobile hydraulics is that
the valves are frequently manually operated.
Typical application fields for mobile hydraulics
include:
Construction machinery
Excavators, elevating platforms
Lifting and conveying devices
Agricultural machinery
22

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Pumps
36

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulic Pump
A pump is the heart of the hydraulic system, convert
mechanical energy into hydraulic energy.
Main purpose of the pump is to create the flow of oil
through the system & thus assist transfer of power &
motion.
The combined pumping and driving motor unit is
known as hydraulic pump.
The hydraulic pump takes hydraulic fluid (mostly some
oil) from the storage tank and delivers it to the rest of the
hydraulic circuit.
In general, the speed of pump is constant and the pump
delivers an equal volume of oil in each revolution.
37

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulic Pump
The hydraulic pumps are characterized by its flow rate
capacity, power consumption, drive speed, pressure
delivered at the outlet and efficiency of the pump.
The pumps are not 100% efficient.
The efficiency of a pump can be specified by two ways:
One is the volumetric efficiency which is the ratio of actual
volume of fluid delivered to the maximum theoretical
volume possible.
Second is power efficiency which is the ratio of output
hydraulic power to the input mechanical/electrical power.
The typical efficiency of pumps varies from 90-98%.
38

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulic Pump
The hydraulic pumps can be of two types:
centrifugal pump
reciprocating pump
39

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Centrifugal pump
Centrifugal pump uses rotational
kinetic energy to deliver the fluid.
The rotational energy typically
comes from an engine or electric
motor.
The fluid enters the pump impeller
along or near to the rotating axis,
accelerates in the propeller and
flung out to the periphery by
centrifugal force as shown in
figure.
In centrifugal pump the delivery is
not constant and varies according
to the outlet pressure.
40

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Centrifugal pump
These pumps are not suitable for high pressure
applications and are generally used for low-
pressure and high-volume flow applications.
The maximum pressure capacity is limited to
20-30 bars.
Most of the centrifugal pumps are not self-
priming and the pump casing needs to be filled
with liquid before the pump is started.
41

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Reciprocating or positive displacement


pump
The reciprocating pump is a
positive plunger pump. It is
also known as positive-
displacement pump or piston
pump.
It is often used where
relatively small quantity is to
be handled and the delivery
pressure is quite large. The
construction of these pumps
is similar to the four stroke
engine as shown in figure.
42

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Reciprocating or positive displacement


pump
The crank is driven by some external rotating motor.
The piston of pump reciprocates due to crank rotation.
The piston moves down in one half of crank rotation, the
inlet valve opens and fluid enters into the cylinder.
In second half crank rotation the piston moves up, the
outlet valve opens and the fluid moves out from the
outlet.
At a time, only one valve is opened and another is closed
so there is no fluid leakage.
Depending on the area of cylinder the pump delivers
constant volume of fluid in each cycle independent to the
pressure at the output port.
43

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Classification of Hydraulic Pumps


These are mainly classified into two categories:

Pump

Hydrodynamic
Hydrostatic
(Non-Positive
(Positive displacement)
displacement)
44

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Positive displacement pumps


This pump ejects fixed quantity of fluid per
revolution of the pump shaft. The pump outlet
flow is constant & is not depended on the system
pressure. So they are suited for fluid power
system.
Positive displacement pumps must be protected
against overload. The reason is that, it continues
to eject fluid (even though it has no place to go)
causing an extremely rapid build up of pressure.
Example: Gear pump, Vane pump, piston pump.
45

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Advantages of positive displacement


pumps
PD pumps are widely used in hydraulic system
They generate high pressure
They are relatively small & enjoy very high
power to weight ratio.
They have greater flexibility of performance
under varying speed pressure requirement.
46

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Construction & Principal of PD pumps..


Reciprocating pump are generally cylinders with
operating as a pump. They are available in various
size, shape & driving mechanisms. Due to high
pressure they are used for specialized applications.
A pump using this principle is known as piston
pump.
Rotary pump are most common in oil hydraulics
system when low to medium pressure is the prime
consideration.
The 3 prime types are:
1) Gear, 2) Vane, 3) Screw
47

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Gear Pumps
Gear pump is a robust and simple positive
displacement pump. It has two meshed gears
revolving about their respective axes.
The rigid design of the gears and houses allow
for very high pressures and the ability to pump
highly viscous fluids.
They are suitable for a wide range of fluids and
offer self-priming performance.
48

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Gear Pumps
Based upon the design, the gear pumps are
classified as:
External gear pumps
Lobe pumps
Internal gear pumps
Gerotor pumps
49

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

External Gear pump


External gear pumps have two mating gear in a
closed fitted housing. One of the gear is
connected to a drive shaft connected to the
prime mover. The 2nd one, the follower gear is
driven as it meshes with the driver gear.
50

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

How external gear pump work !


51

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Generally gear pumps are used to


pump
Petrochemicals: Diesel oil, crude oil, lube oil etc.
Chemicals: Sodium silicate, acids, plastics,
mixed chemicals etc.
Paint and ink
Resins and adhesives
Pulp and paper: acid, soap, lye, black liquor,
lime, sludge etc.
Food: Chocolate, cacao butter, fillers, sugar,
vegetable fats and oils, animal food etc.
52

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Lobe Pump
Lobe pumps work on the
similar principle of
working as that of
external gear pumps.
However in Lobe pumps,
the lobes do not make
any contact like external
gear .
Lobe contact is prevented
by external timing gears
located in the gearbox.
53

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Lobe Pump
54

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Lobe Pump
Similar to the external gear pump, the lobes
rotate to create expanding volume at the inlet.
Now, the fluid flows into the cavity and is
trapped by the lobes. Fluid travels around the
interior of casing in the pockets between the
lobes and the casing.
Finally, the meshing of the lobes forces liquid to
pass through the outlet port.
55

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Applications
Lobe pumps are frequently used in food applications
because they handle solids without damaging the
product.
Large sized particles can be pumped much
effectively than in other positive displacement types.
As the lobes do not make any direct contact
therefore, the clearance is not as close as in other
Positive displacement pumps.
This specific design of pump makes it suitable to
handle low viscosity fluids with diminished
performance.
56

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Piston pumps
Piston pumps are meant for the high-pressure
applications. These pumps have high efficiency and
simple design and needs lower maintenance.
These pumps convert the rotary motion of the input
shaft to the reciprocating motion of the piston. These
pumps work similar to the four stroke engines.
They work on the principle that a reciprocating piston
draws fluid inside the cylinder when the piston retracts
in a cylinder bore and discharge the fluid when it
extends.
These pumps are positive displacement pump and can be
used for both liquids and gases.
57

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Piston pumps types


Piston pumps are basically of two types:
Axial piston pumps
Bent axis piston pumps
Swash plate axial piston pump
Radial piston pumps
58

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Axial Piston Pump


Axial piston pumps are positive displacement
pumps which converts rotary motion of the
input shaft into an axial reciprocating motion of
the pistons.
These pumps have a number of pistons (usually
an odd number) in a circular array within a
housing which is commonly referred to as a
cylinder block, rotor or barrel.
59

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Bent-Axis Piston Pumps


In these pumps, the reciprocating action of the
pistons is obtained by bending the axis of the
cylinder block.
The cylinder block rotates at an angle which is
inclined to the drive shaft. The cylinder block
is turned by the drive shaft through a universal
link. The cylinder block is set at an offset angle
with the drive shaft.
The cylinder block contains a number of
pistons along its periphery. These piston rods
are connected with the drive shaft flange by
ball-and socket joints. These pistons are forced
in and out of their bores as the distance
between the drive shaft flange and the cylinder
block changes.
A universal link connects the block to the drive
shaft, to provide alignment and a positive
drive.

64

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Radial Piston Pump


The piston pump has pistons
aligned radially in a cylindrical
block.
Pistons are placed in radial
bores around the rotor. The
piston shoes ride on an
eccentric ring which causes
them to reciprocate as they
rotate.
The eccentricity determines
the stroke of the pumping
piston.
The radial piston pump works
on high pressure (up to 1000
bar).
65

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Combination Pump
Two basic requirements for load lifting or load
applying by a hydraulic ram.
First, there is a need of large volume of fluid at a
low pressure when the cylinder extends or
retracts. The low pressure is required to
overcome the frictional resistance.
The second requirement is that a high pressure
is needed, when the load is gripped.
66

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Combination Pump
67

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Combination Pump
In this system two separate pumps are driven by a
common electrical motor.
Pump P1 is a high pressure low volume pump and
pump P2 is a high volume low pressure pump.
The hydraulic system is associated with relief valves
RV1 and RV2 and a one-way check valve CV1.
This kind of arrangement allows the fluid flow from
left to right.
This kind of arrangement saves energy as the large
volume of fluid from pump P2 is returned to the
tank at a very low pressure, and only a small volume
of fluid from pump P1 is returned at a high pressure.
Hydraulic Fluid & Properties

They have the following primary tasks:
Power transmission (pressure and motion
transmission)
Signal transmission for control
Secondary tasks:
Lubrication of rotating and translating components to
avoid friction and wear
Heat transport, away from the location of heat
generation, usually into the reservoir
Transport of particles to the filter
Protection of surfaces from chemical attack, especially
corrosion

inflammable at all
Chemically neutral (not aggressive at all against
all materials it touches)
Low air dissolving capability, not inclined to foam

72

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Properties of Hydraulic Fluid.


Good Lubricity Low Foaming Tendency
Stable Viscosity Fire Resistant
Characteristics Prevent Rust Formation
Good Heat Dissipation Non-toxic, Easy to handle &
Flash Point Available
73

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Good Lubricity
The component in a hydraulic system contain
many surface which are in close contact and
which move in relation to each other. The
hydraulic fluid must separate and lubricate such
surfaces. Protection against wear is a principal
reason for selecting a fluid having good
lubrication characteristics as a hydraulic
medium.
74

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Good Heat Dissipation


An important requirement of the fluid is to carry
heat away from the working parts.
Pressure drops, mechanical friction, fluid
friction, leakages, all generate heat.
The fluid must carry the generated heat away
and readily dissipate it to the atmosphere or
coolers.
Therefore high thermal conductivity and high
specific heat values are desirable in the fluid
chosen.
75

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Flash Point
The flash point of a hydraulic oil is defined as
the temperature at which flashes will be
generated when oil is brought into contact with
any heated matter, e.g., a heat stick.
Low flash point oils are not use as Hydraulic Oil.
76

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Low Foaming Tendency


Foam results from air or other gases becoming
entrained in the hydraulic fluid. Air enters a
hydraulic system through the reservoir or through
air leaks within the system.
A hydraulic fluid under high pressure can contain a
large volume of dissolved or dispersed air bubbles.
When this fluid is depressurized, the air bubbles
expand and produce foam. Because of its
compressibility and poor lubricating properties,
foam can seriously affect the operation and
lubrication of machinery.
Proper foam inhibitors modify the surface tension
on air bubbles so they more easily break up.
77

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Fire Resistant
Fire resistance is one of the properties that is
optional in a good usable hydraulic fluid.
The commonly used hydraulic liquid are
petroleum derivative, and consequently they
burn vigorously once they pass the point.
For critical application, artificial or synthetic
hydraulic fluid are used which have high fire
resistances. Various grades of fluids with high
water content are also available now a days for
oil hydraulic system.
78

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Stable Viscosity Characteristics


Viscosity is a measure of a hydraulic fluid's resistance to
flow. It is a hydraulic fluid's most important
characteristic and has a significant impact on the
operation of the system.
When a hydraulic oil is too thin (low viscosity), it does
not seal sufficiently. This leads to leakage and wear of
parts. When a hydraulic oil is too thick (high viscosity),
the fluid will be more difficult to pump through the
system and may reduce operating efficiency.
All hydraulic fluids must be able to retain optimum
viscosity during operation in cold or hot temperatures, in
order to consistently and effectively transmit power
79

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Prevent Rust Formation


In many systems, water can enter as condensation
or contamination, and mix with the hydraulic oil.
Water can cause rusting of hydraulic components.
In addition, water can react with some additives to
form chemical species which can be aggressive to
yellow metals.
Hydraulic oil formulations contain rust and
corrosion inhibitors which prevent the interaction of
water or other chemical species from attacking
metal surfaces.
80

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Non-toxic, Easy to Handle & Available


These characteristics refer to the interaction of
the fluid with people who repair, handle, use or
pay for hydraulic system fluid.
Obviously, it is desirable that the fluid be as
simple to handle and as available and cheap as
possible.
81

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulic oil used in India.


Indian oil corporation limited(IOCL) has marked oil
used for hydraulic system are termed as Circulating
and Hydraulic Oils.
These oils are recommended for hydraulic system,
circulation system of industrial gearboxes, air
compressors requiring turbine quality oil and for
plain and anti-friction bearings of turbo feed pumps,
turbo blowers, etc.
These Oils can be used for lubrication of
intermittently operating turbo generator sets where
oil is changed after short duration.

Graphical representation of hydraulic


and pneumatic elements
The hydraulic and pneumatic elements such as cylinders and
valves are connected
through pipelines to form a hydraulic or a pneumatic circuit. It is
difficult to represent the
complex functioning of these elements using sketches. Therefore
graphical symbols are
used to indicate these elements. The symbols only specify the
function of the element
without indicating the design of the element. Symbols also indicate
the actuation method,

Hydraulic Actuators
130

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulic Actuators
The fluid discharged by the pump is directed to
the hydraulic actuator. The actuator convert the
pressure energy of the fluid into mechanical
energy. There are 3 basic type of hydraulic
actuator.
The actuators convert the fluid pressure to a
suitable linear or rotary motion.
Linear motion Hydraulic cylinder
Rotary motion Hydro motor
Rotary motion Semi-rotary actuator
131

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulic cylinders
A hydraulic cylinder is a device, which
converts fluid power into linear mechanical force
and motion. It usually consists of a movable
element, a piston and a piston rod operating
within a cylindrical bore.
132

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Parts of a hydraulic cylinder


A hydraulic cylinder consists of the following
parts
Cylinder barrel
Piston
Piston rod
Bush
Cylinder head and cap
133

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Type of hydraulic cylinder


Single acting
cylinders
Hydraulic
cylinder
Double acting
cylinders
134

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Single acting cylinder


In the case of a single acting cylinder, only the
piston side is pressurized with hydraulic fluid.
The cylinder can thus carry out work only in one
direction. The fluid which flows into the piston
chamber causes a pressure to build up the
surface of the piston. The piston travels into its
forward end position. The return stroke is
effected by a spring, the dead weight of the
piston rod or an external load
135

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Single acting cylinder.


136

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Plunger type single acting cylinder


In the case of plunger
cylinders, the piston and rod
form a single component. Due
to the design of the cylinder,
the return stroke can only be
effected by external forces. The
cylinders can therefore
generally be installed only
vertically.

140

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Double acting cylinders


In the case of double acting cylinders, both
piston surfaces can be pressurized. A working
movement can thus be performed in both
directions.
With double acting cylinders with a single-sided
piston rod, different forces and speeds are
obtained on the advance and return strokes due
to the difference in area between the piston
surface and annular piston surface.

143

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Double acting cylinder with end


position cushioning
Cylinder with end position cushioning are used
to brake high stroke speeds smoothly and
prevent hard impacts at the end of the stroke.
Shortly before the end position is reached, the
cross- section for the outflow of fluid is reduced
by the built-in cushioning pistons and then
finally closed. The hydraulic fluid is then forced
to escape through a flow control valve.
144

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Cushioning Cylinder
145

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

End position cushioning


The piston is a short distance
before its end position; the
hydraulic fluid on the piston-
rod side must escape via the
adjustable flow control valve
above the piston rod
This type of end position
cushioning is used for stroke
speed between 6 m/min and
20 m/min. At higher speed,
additional cushioning or
braking devices must be used
146

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

End position cushioning


The piston rod is on its return
stroke; in this flow direction,
the non-return valve below the
piston rod is opened, thus by-
passing the flow control valve.
The piston rod retracts at
maximum speed.

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Telescopic cylinder
Often cylinder & rod length does not fit in the
machine. In that case the piston rod is also used as a
piston barrel and a second piston rod is used.
These kinds of cylinders are called telescopic
cylinders. If we call a normal rod cylinder single
stage, telescopic cylinders are multi-stage units of
two, three, four, five or more stages.
In general telescopic cylinders are much more
expensive than normal cylinders. Most telescopic
cylinders are single acting (push). Double acting
telescopic cylinders must be specially designed and
manufactured.

Hydraulic Motors
151

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulic Motors
In hydraulic system generally hydraulic motor
provide rotational movement. A hydraulic motor
transform hydraulic energy into mechanical energy
which is applied to a resistance object by means of a
shaft connected with the motor.
Hydraulic motor closely resemble hydraulic pumps
in construction & size. The only difference is that
instead of pushing the fluid as the pump does, in
hydraulic motor the rotating elements(i.e. vanes,
gear, piston, etc.) are pushed by the oil pressure to
enable the motor shaft to rotate & thus develop the
necessary turning torque & continuous rotational
motion.

Semi rotary actuator


The limited angle rotary
actuator is applied when the
shaft has to rotate over a
limited angle. The animation
shows how this simple
actuator works: in this case the
shaft can rotate over an angle
of about 270 degrees. This type
of actuator is, among others,
used as a rotator actuator on
(small) cranes and excavators
Hydraulic valves
157

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Hydraulic valves
The pressure energy is fed to the actuator
through a number of control block called valves.
Various type of valve are used in hydraulic
system to control or regulate the flow medium.
Basically valves are expected to control:
Direction
Pressure
Flow
Other special functions.
158

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Directional control valves


These valves control the direction of flow of the
hydraulic fluid and, thus, the direction of motion
and the positioning of the working components.
Directional control valves may be actuated
manually, mechanically, electrically,
pneumatically or hydraulically. They convert and
amplify signals(manual, electric or pneumatic)
forming an interface between the power control
section and the signal control section.

203

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Flow rate
Flow rate is the term used to
describe the volume of liquid
flowing through a pipe in a
specific period of time. For
example, approximately one
minute is required to fill a10
litre bucket from a tap. Thus,
the flow rate amounts to 10
l/min.
204

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Flow rate
In hydraulics, the flow rate is designated as Q.
The following equation applies:
Q =Flow rate
V = Volume
t = time
205

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Flow control valves


The speed of the actuators needs to be altered as
per operational requirement. For this purpose
hydraulic systems use flow control valves.
These interact with pressure valves to affect the
flow rate. They make it possible to control or
regulate the speed of motion of the power
components. Where the flow rate is constant,
division of flow must take place. This is generally
effected through the interaction of the flow
control valve with a pressure valve.

valve
The flow through the valve varies as the square
root of the pressure drop across it. So any
changes in pressure at the outlet and inlet
changes the flow through the valve.
But pressure compensation flow control
automatically adjust to pressure changes and
maintain a constant pressure drop from inlet to
outlet, thus providing constant flow.

Location of flow control valves


The location of flow control valves with respect
to other component & the work is quit important
because it has an effect on the characteristics of
the circuit performance.
There are 2 basic type of location of a flow
control valve in any hydraulic system.
Meter in circuit
Meter out circuit
Bleed off circuit
217

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Meter in circuit
In this type of circuit, the valve is located in the
pressure line leading to the work cylinder.
The flow entering into the work cylinder is first
controlled through the valve.
Meter in circuit are generally used when the
load characteristics are constant & positive. For
free reverse flow, generally a check valve is
provided parallel to the flow control valve.
For example: A hydraulic table feed on a surface
grinder would require controlled rate of travel.
218

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Meter out circuit


In this type of circuits, the flow control valve is
installed on the return side of the cylinder so that it
controls the speed of the working cylinder by
monitoring the discharge flow.
The meter out circuit is commonly used in
machine tools that require precise control of fluid on
discharge from the exhaust side of the cylinder.
The machine tools like mills and drills often
required large restraining force to prevent excessive
pull on the cylinders.

Pressure control valves


Oil energy does the work due to pressure in
the oil system. In a mechanical or hydraulic
system there may be a need to increase or
decrease the oil pressure depending on the
specific requirement. Hence a group of valves
called pressure control valve have been
designed.

Pressure Relief Valves


Relief valves are generally spring loaded valves
which include a plug over a discharge port which
is lifted against an spring force if the system
pressure exceeds a certain value. This opens the
flow to the discharge port relieving the pressure.

Pressure Reducing Valve


This type of valve is used to maintain reduced pressure
in specified location of a hydraulic system. Normally it is
an open valve.
A pressure reducing valve is one which used a spring
loaded spool to control the downstream pressure.
If the downstream pressure is below the value pressure,
fluid will flow freely from the inlet to the out let.
When the outlet pressure increases the valve setting , the
spool moves to partially block the outlet port.
If the valve is closed completely by the spool, it could
cause the downstream pressure to buildup above the
valve setting. To avoid this, a drain line is provided to
drain the fluid to the tank.

In oil driven spot welding guns, the control of the
pressure is important for good welding. In that
hydraulic system both welding gun and the clamp
are powered by the same pump/power pack.
A pressure reducing valve which is placed in
between the welding gun and main pressure, which
will regulate the pressure on the spot welding gun.
The clamp pressure is determined by the pump

Deceleration valve
A deceleration flow control valve gradually reduce
its flow rate to provide deceleration of the heavy
loads. On some machine it is desirable to have a
skip-feed arrangement. This is accomplished by
having a cam operated deceleration valve.
The cam operated deceleration valve is connected in
parallel with the meter-out flow control valve to
provide an adjustable minimum flow when the main
flow path is closed.
Rapid forward movement will take place when the
valve is in the open condition. Cam on the slide act
to close the valve gradually.

Bourdon-tube pressure gauge


260

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

PRESSURE GAUGE
This gauge is sometimes known as Bourdons
pressure gauge as it employs a Burdon Pressure
Tube.
It is a phosphor-bronze tube oval in section and
circular in form. When pressure is applied to the
tube, its tends to straighten and this move of the
tube is transferred to a needle or pointer through a
link, sector arm & a pinion assembly.
The pressure can be read out from the pointer
scanning a graduated dial.
The accuracy of the pressure gauge should be within
(+) or (-) 1 to 2% of the reading value.

How Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge


Works
263

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Why internal chamber of the gauge is


filled with liquid?
To maintain the accuracy of the pointer
movement and to avoid damage to the link
mechanism, the entire internal chamber of the
gauge is filled with transparent liquid like
glycerin or any other oils.
This will suppress any vibration and thus will
ensure accuracy of the pressure reading.
Accumulators
265

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Accumulator
Hydraulic accumulator is an accessory of a hydraulic
system
A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir
in which a non-compressible hydraulic fluid is held
under pressure by an external source.
The external source can be a spring, a raised weight, or a
compressed gas. An accumulator enables a hydraulic
system to cope with extremes of demand using a less
powerful pump, to respond more quickly to a temporary
demand, and to smooth out pulsations. It is a type of
energy storage device.

Types of Hydraulic Accumulator


The function of hydraulic accumulator is to store
pressurized oil.
Types:
Weighted accumulator
Spring loaded accumulator
Gas-charged accumulator
267

Sanjay Humania 20-01-2016

Weight loaded type accumulator


This is the oldest type of accumulator. This consist
of a vertical, heavy steel cylinder which incorporates
a piston with packing to prevent leakage.
A dead weight is attached to the top of the piston.
The force of gravity of the dead weight provides the
potential energy in the accumulator.
The main disadvantages of this of accumulator is its
large size and heavy weight makes it unsuitable for
mobile equipment.

Spring loaded accumulator


A spring loaded accumulator is
similar to the weight loaded
type, except that the piston is
preloaded with a spring.

Bladder type
The three types of gas-charged
accumulators are bladder,
piston and diaphragm.
The most popular of these is
the bladder type. Bladder
accumulators feature fast
response (less than 25
milliseconds), a maximum gas
compression ratio of around
4:1 and a maximum flow rate
of 15 liters (4 gallons) per
second.

Regenerative Circuit
A regenerative circuit is used to speed up the
extending speed of a double acting hydraulic
cylinder. Both ends of the hydraulic cylinder are
connected in parallel so that one port of the four
way valve is blocked.
When the DCV is shifted to its left mode, the
fluid bypasses the DCV and enters into the rod
end of the cylinder. Fluid in the blank end drains
back to the tank through the DCV as the cylinder
retracts.

Calender feeding device


Single-acting cylinder [Ex 1]
Rolls of paper are lifted into a
calender by a lifting device. The
lifting device is driven by a
plunger cylinder (single-acting
cylinder). When the hydraulic
power pack is switched on, the
pump output flows directly to
the cylinder. A 2/2-way valve,
which is closed in its normal
position, is fitted in a branch
line leading to the tank. A non-
return valve is used to ensure
that the pump is protected
against the oil back pressure. A
pressure relief valve is fitted
upstream of the non return
valve to safeguard the pump
against excessive pressures.

4/3-way valve with bypass to pump


[Ex 4]
Parts are fed through a drying oven on a steel
chain conveyor belt. It must be possible to
correct the tracking of the belt by means of a
tensioning device to ensure that the belt does
not run off its rollers. This device consists of a
steel roller fixed at one end and movable at the
other by means of a double-acting cylinder.
Hydraulic power must be available continuously.
The hydraulic system must switch to the
recirculation (H in mid-position 4/2 way valve)
condition when the directional control valve is
not actuated. The clamping station causes a
continuous counter force to act on the cylinder.
A piloted non-return valve is used to prevent
creepage of the piston rod of the positioning
cylinder as a result of oil leakage losses in the
directional control valve.

Drilling machine [Ex 5]


In a automated drill machine,
first the clamp cylinder should
extend and clamp the work
piece. Then the work cylinder
should extend to drive a
spindle to drill a hole in the
work piece. Then the work
cylinder retracts the drill
spindle and the clamp cylinder
retracts to release the work
piece for removal.

Bulkhead door
Hydraulic clamping of a cylinder [Ex 6]
A double-acting cylinder is
used to open and close a
bulkhead door. Closing must
be carried out smoothly and at
a constant adjustable speed.
The speed is adjusted by
means of a one-way flow
control valve. A pressure relief
valve must be fitted to provide
counter-holding and prevent
the heavy door from pulling
the piston rod out of the
cylinder during the closing
operation.

Skip handling Varying load [Ex 7]


The loading and unloading of
skips from a skip transporter
is carried out using two
double-acting cylinders. Each
cylinder is subject to varying
loads tractive load during
unloading and compressive
load during loading. The skip
should be raised and lowered
at a slow constant speed. Each
cylinder must therefore be
hydraulically clamped on both
sides.

Cold-store door Accumulator [Ex 8]


A heavy cold-store door is
opened and closed by a
hydraulic cylinder. A hydraulic
accumulator is to be installed
to allow the door to be closed
in the case of an electrical
power failure. This will permit
the cold-store door to be
opened and closed a number
of times. A 4/2-way valve is to
be used to activate the
cylinder. This valve should be
connected up in such a way
that the piston rod is advanced
with the valve in its normal
position.
